If you're in the market for a used electric car that's compact, modern and distinctive, then a used BMW i3 is a great choice. The electric powertrain is surprisingly fast, provides good handling and offers a tight turning circle for exceptional manoeuvrability. It has a stylish interior that includes high-tech equipment and top-notch comfort features for a compelling all-round used car package.
The BMW i3 is a fully electric vehicle, but there's also an option with a two-cylinder petrol motor, known as a range-extender hybrid. All models have an automatic single-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive.
ElectricThe BMW i3 is a compact car (about the same length as a Ford Fiesta), yet its clever packaging and lack of conventional engine mean it's remarkably spacious on the inside.
Interior spaceThe i3 was the first mass-produced electric vehicle from BMW with a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell that ensure's it's super lightweight. Even with the battery installed, the kerb weight is similar to that of petrol and diesel cars of the same size. Many of the components were constructed from renewable raw materials. With more than 200,000 examples built, BMW discontinued the i3 lineup in 2022 while it was still in its first generation.
The BMW i3 (2013 - 2022) was a quirky, futuristic little electric car designed from the ground up as an EV. With its lightweight carbon-fibre body and clever use of space, it felt nimble and perfect for city life. It came in pure electric form or with a small petrol range extender, and battery sizes improved over time for better range. The i3s version added a sportier edge, while all models featured a clean, modern interior made with sustainable materials. Though rear seats and boot space were tight, and earlier models lacked some modern tech, the i3 stood out for its innovation, distinctive looks, and low running costs.

The fully electric configuration of the i3 has proven to be the most popular among i3 drivers. Some of the 'range extender' models are also available on the used car market, offering a larger combined driving range that's good for longer journeys around the city.
The BMW i3 lineup was divided by the powertrain included, whether it was the i3 or i3s. The used cars are simply known as the i3, with Standard, S, Fluid Grey and Inspired variants available. All variants include similar equipment, with the S being the most popular variant offering a wider bodycolour range and varied soft interior finishes.
Customers should look out for the available Driving Assistance Plus Package which adds automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, both of which are valuable for boosting safety. There was also an option between 19-inch and 20-inch wheels, which can change the look of the EV.
The i3 makes a reasonable attempt at being family-friendly. There are four seats and the rear seats are well suited for holding children. There are also ISOFIX points for child seats, and the rear-hinged doors offer quick access to the back, making it a great option for families who regularly travel around the city.
A used i3 can be found with a full-electric powertrain or a hybrid-type with a small petrol engine installed. The range-extender version has more power output uses the petrol engine when the battery needs to be charged.
As with most electric vehicles, the i3 only comes with a single-speed automatic transmission. Because there are no gears, the i3 has almost instant access to acceleration and torque, which is helpful when driving in the city.
No, the BMW i3 only delivers power to the rear wheels. Adding four-wheel drive would require more power which would significantly hurt the driving range. Cars from this segment don't need four-wheel drive, so there was no reason to add it.
